A Lesson in Crisis Management with Jeremiah Grossman

It's not always easy to determine the value of digital assets. The potential of overestimating or undervaluing your data can make it difficult to establish how much protection you need for a cyber intrusion.

Today's guest is Jeremiah Grossman. Jeremiah has spent over 25 years as an InfoSec professional and hacker. He is the Managing Director of Grossman Ventures. He is an industry creator and founder of White Hat Security and Bit Discovery. He has his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is an avid car collector.

Show Notes:

[1:55] - When he was 24, Jeremiah's business was victimized by a data breach.

[13:30] - When it comes to solving these problems, we have to narrow in on the problems that are worth solving and then work for a solution.
